/lit/ - Literature

The one trick that helps me focus and write is to start a timer. I write in 25 minutes sprints. Set the timer and start typing. Sometimes I get distracted and fuck around or whatever. Mostly, I end up with 250-500 words.

Might not work for everybody, but it works for me.

We're going to need to full greentext before we can help you.

z-library is a start also you should crosspost this to /hentai or wherever

Yes.

But you must enrobe the book with a scarlet ribbon of the finest lace as a signal to visitors that the pages of this volume remain virginal, untainted by human eyes.

Don't fetishize this novel. Few people read the whole thing. Um... Samuel Johnson has a quip about reading all the pages of a book.

/nu-lit/ and /old-lit/ are both designed to make mediocre white guys feel good about themselves.

Still using the same tools of misogyny and racism to get the job done.

I am twelve and what is this

Let's be clear, if you're trying to sell your manuscript the publishing industry recognizes the following categories:

Middle Grade: 8-12 years old
Young Adult: 13-18 years old

I self published a novel in 1999. I have writer friends who have self published more recently.

Most people who self publish do so because their books aren't very good. I self published because I was impatient. Had I waited, my book would have been much better.

Many writers are also confused or suspicious about the publishing industry. Getting an agent and a publisher is an opaque and mysterious process. It's not fun. It takes a lot of time.

If you choose to self publish, you will need to market your book. No one will ever find or buy your book just by browsing Amazon or whatever.

Even successful books published by real authors in a traditional format only sell 1000 - 2000 copies. This is a successful book. Not a shit book. Most books don't sell this much.

Your self published book will sell in the tens of copies unless you market it.

Some literary agents will be absolutely disastrous for your book. This is true no matter what kind of fiction you write. The key is to find the right fit.

You're not that fucking special. Finish your book. Then find a market for it. Two separate tasks.

What are you writing, anon?

You hang out with the cool kids who smoke

That's harsh, man. But think about it for a second. Sonnets, as an expression of love, have not really been in vogue since the 18th Century. Sure. People still write sonnets. People still write letters. People still write discordant Beat poetry to their loves.

But try Tindr. Or just ask a girl to grab a coffee with you and then talk to her.

Your act, your sonnet, was the tactics of a dying patriarchy. Her reaction was modern. Not cool to post it and shame you.

Also, you got rejected by a woman and you're still checking her Instagram two years later. Move on.
